I am a climate scientist with an interest in reconstructing and understanding past climate variability, with a particular interest in the Antarctic and the Southern Hemisphere. Other research interests throughout my career include: The design and analysis of global climate model (GCM) simulations for the mid- and late-Holocene and development of methodologies for systematic comparison of these simulations with proxy data Regional climate modelling with a focus on the European Alps Links between atmospheric circulation and transport of air pollution
